are you seeing anyone?? a nutritionist/therapist would be a great start! Most bulimics are of normal or slightly higher than normal weight so as a weight loss tool it is not really effective....usually the behaviours are about so much more than weight.
you deserve to get better for your family but more importantly for yourself!

You must tell your doctor about your bulimia. And you should go to a nutritionist to make sure that you are eating properly and not getting rid of it. I don't want to scare you but the baby could be born with low birth weight. We are here to support you in your recovery process, if you need to chat email me. This is the time that you can change everything around. We are here for you.

You need to tell your doctor right away so he can check that the baby is ok (weight,development). This might actually be a chance for you to break the cicle, especially since you want to breastfeed. Because if you breastfeed you need to take in some really good nutrition to make sure your baby will be ok.

No, my partner who is my best friend in the world only has had suspisions to go by I have never told anyone who has asked me. Sometimes I could go days without eating but also without feeling hungry. I had that problem when I first found out I was pregnant although I always made myself eat even if it was only a bit..
Baby is about 1week bigger then he should be so I think that is a good thing..
I also think my doctor has had his suspisions as I pulled of purging as a bug when one was in the house at one stage and he asked me also because I had lost a great amount of weight in 2weeks...
Thank you for all you support I really appreicate it!

I agree, tell your doctor. I relapsed during my second pregnancy. I was in denial that I was relapsing, so I didn't tell my doctor, but my husband did. I was probably at the same point you are right now when I relapsed. My doctor had me come in for weekly check ups to make sure the baby was growing. She also preformed quite a few ultra sounds to make sure everything was ok. The last ultr sound I had showed that the baby was not growing, so I was sent to the hospital to get induced. It was 3 weeks before my due date. I ended up going into labor on my own as soon as I got there, so I didn't need to be induced. My baby ended up being completely healthy and weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces. So she wasn't as small as the doctor thought. I didn't want to breastfeed, but even if I did, I would not been able to. The doctor didn't think the baby would be getting what she needed through my breast milk.

I guess I will be making the next doctors appointment I can then....
Wow I am scared of that.. He doesn't even know that I am pregnant I have gone through the midwives for everything
Well I will talk to Michael my partner first and then go to the doctor maybe it will be easier that way...
What if he thinks I have tried to hurt the baby when that is the one thing I don't want to do?

Ask for blood tests for neural tube defects - these are plain blood tests and also the amnio.

Due to poor nutrition pre-conception, your child could have birth defects, like neural tube defects and spina bifida.

If your baby did have spina bifida, there is treatment necessary in the first few days of life - such as surgery - to close holes in the spine.

Purging during breastfeeding does effect the nutrients passed into breastmilk. Babies become colicky and seem never to be satisfied. If you are purging during breastfeeding, supplement your son with formula.

Could any of these defects come up in an ultra sound do any of you know??
I'm really scared there might be something wrong now argh!
Thank you

Yes. Detailed ultrasound. Get a technician who knows what they are looking for. Meaning, you don't want to depend on just your routine ultrasound to rule it out. You want a separate ultrasound to be looking for it.

And I'm sorry I scared you. :( I didn't mean to be mean.

Don't worry it is just my brain going crazy!!
I will see what I can do, I have to go out of town to get an u/s and sometimes they don't let you go if you are past a certain point here.. Sucks!!

i was sick through most of my pregnancy and threw up daily. only sometimes by choice. i felt terrible and it was stressful for my baby too, but there's good news he's absolutely fine. take yer prenatals. get the milk into you and take it one meal at a time, heck one snack at a time. the baby will take the nutrients first so you will be the one paying for it first. talk to yer doctor, like everyone said, and keep breathing. motherhood can be stressful enough without worying about the what if's. also "what to expect when you're expecting" excellent book to read will take you through the pregnancy week by week. i know that it helped me get through.

I understand your partner only has suspicions, but that may not be reality. When I was pregant the behavior was out there for everyone to see, yet my husband denied any suspicions. Denial is previlant in eating disorders; Not only for us, but for our family members. Everyone else said to see a doctor, but I've also walked a mile in your shoes. XO

Just in case you read Stewart's reply, DON'T TAKE DOMPERIDONE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT.The safety of this drug has not been tested for pregnant or breast-feeding Mums.
